Tek and Ilk went looking for an adventure. With the trees of the forest being so large and looking all the same for young eyes, they become disoriented and disheartened.With their father gone, they have only themselves to lean on and when a Hunter shows up, Tek, with his brother unconscious, is relieved. Trouble is his heart belongs to their mother. Their mother though will never bed another terlock, unless they are dead.Worst still they have set out on a day when the Snatchers decided to invade and being of no use to them as boys they will likely be run down, just for being in the forest.
